Browns: Johnny Manziel partied his way out of the lineup during Cleveland”s bye week. Browns coach Mike Pettine benched the quarterback for his off-field behavior, a move that could signal Manziel”s days with the team are numbered. Pettine said Josh McCown will start Monday night”s game against Baltimore in place of Manziel. Manziel”s benching comes in the wake of a video surfacing of him holding a bottle of champagne and rapping profane lyrics last weekend in an Austin, Texas, nightclub.

“Everyone in this organization wants what is best for Johnny just like we do for every player in our locker room. I”m especially disappointed in his actions and behavior because he has been working very hard,” Pettine said. Manziel will not only move back behind McCown, but he”ll also be below Austin Davis on the depth chart. Pettine informed Manziel after practice.
